Presently AMU is conducting the need assessment at Sawla that will enable us to decide what programs are suitable for the community. This will immensely help the people around and their children to craft their own destiny, opined Arba Minch University President, Dr Feleke Woldeyes. Click here to see the pictures.

Dr Feleke was speaking during the foundation stone laying ceremony at Sawla, where Arba Minch University in near future will have new sprawling campus that will offer different courses keeping in mind the needs of the community.
On the rationale behind this initiative, Dr Feleke said, ‘‘The need to start new campus was felt three years back. The representative of regional state and AMU through intense discussion have brought out this into reality by identifying and obtaining 90 hectares of land at Sawla, 250 km away from Arba Minch. Within one and a half years, important task of compensating residing farmers was done.
Scotching all speculations over this campus, Dr Feleke reiterated that building necessary infrastructure would take one or two years. The proposed campus may or may not run the courses being offered at Arba Minch University’s institute and college; it will be decided after gauging the need assessment results.
Laying the foundation stone, Vice President of South Nation Nationalities and People’s Region (SNNPR) and presently Arba Minch University Board Chairman, Mr Tagesse Chafo, said, ‘‘Decision to start new campus at Sawla is the studied response from government towards people’s need. It evinces how committed government is towards people’s welfare.’’
